I know it's a faux pas in "polite" society to say something like "shithole countries" but read between the lines: what he really is getting at is, why are we taking in masses of unskilled/uneducated migrants who will most likely come here and struggle to find work and need social assistance? We should have an immigration policy that is humane and fair but also one that mainly benefits our country and culture. It has nothing to do with racism or religion or anything, it's about not throwing open the doors to all comers, with no coherent policy or thought process to it.

I think with our country already being resource strained re: debt, spending and an aging population, bringing in large numbers of people who will likely need social assistance would add to an existing problem in some respects. I just think we need a balanced immigration policy that is humane and fair, but pragmatic and relevant to our issues/needs as a nation and cultural compatibility.

Edit: For example, the European left blames European racism or bias for not integrating their Muslim immigrants more into society while completely overlooking the fact that many of these people actively choose to self-segregate and not integrate into the culture of their new countries. If you choose to move to a place, you adopt the general customs and laws of that land. Period.

It matters in literally every other human context: the ppl u marry, want to live next to, want to get into your college, want to hang out with. So why the mother FUCK should it be different from a country-wide perspective?

Correct. It seems to be a natural human inclination. When people like the Clintons locate their offices in Harlem yet live in Chappaqua which is 95 percent white and wealthy, the cynical pandering is grotesque and hypocrisy is obvious.

not sure about other trades but to be an electrician you need a really good command of English to read the NEC, it's basically the 70th edition of a manual that came out in 1895. not quite the bar exam but the same idea a bunch of irrelevant trivia, more of like a hazing ritual to keep idiots from starting fires

they end up consuming a lot more here. some are cheap labor and the ones who arent, well we've got plenty of other people's money to give them that otherwise might have been hoarded rather than funneled back into the hands of GC

Of course he’s right that some countries are shitholes and you’d never want to live or visit there. And he’s right that the US should be a place where people from countries with high standards of living - Eg Norway - shouldn’t want to come to.

The issue is that it’s an unnecessarily vulgar and disrespectful thing for a president to say. That said this not even on the same level as his “good people on both sides shtick”
